Luke39 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 Well none of us know how Lucy a tv producer runs a tv show. A successful one I mind you. So it's pretty easy to blame her for everything. But for all we know ppl around her think she's doing a great job. I mean are any of us working for 7. Or any major by networks? I know I'm not Haha. I'm just saying. I think theirs a fine balance between connecting to the past. But also being current. I think the fostering aspect should become more apparent next year. But I like where the show is at right now.

Gerard Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 Unless we know what discussions have gone on behind the scenes on H&A over the past few years, any theories of why the series is in the state it's in is largely speculation, particularly those that single out a particular person. I would speculate myself that it takes more than one person to get H&A into the situation it has been in over the past while. What we can criticize, as viewers, is the quailtiy of the finished product, what we see on screen, regardless of how it got there. Then again, some people here think the series has never been better and has moved with the times, while others think it has never been worse and has moved too far away from what it should be, Can both sides be wrong? It's easy to say "if you don't like it then don't watch", but this is show that some of us have watched for most of our lives and grown up with. In a business, it costs significantly more to gain a new customer than keep an existing one. I'm not sure if it applies in the same way to TV viewers, but I think that's been forgotten somewhere along the way. It's like the "new Coke" debacle back in the 80's (which I'm sure most will not remember - showing my age here). In short, they tampered with a much loved recipe and there was a huge backlash, so they changed it back. The difference with H&A's change in formula is that it's neither universally loved or hated, and even those of us who don't like it, will stick with it, for a while at least, in the hope it changes to something we do like. But this should not be an excuse for the series to output whatever it likes and assume the viewers will still watch.

Blaxland 89 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 I wish people would stop saying it has to move with the time, it can't go back etc, that's missing the point and not the issue. Nobody has says they want it to be the same as1988 or 1995. People want high standards of story telling, character lead plots, good continuity, diversity. Yes, all of which is more akin to an earlier home and away. However these aspects are still highly relevant to most well respected dramas in 2016 and beyond. It'll never go out of fashion. That's what the complaint is. Storylines with no fall out or aftermath, characters like robots moving from one drama to the next,things going around in circles, people committing evil crimes and being peceived as good guys, character so unrelatable we cannot emphasis with them on any issue, older characters being ignored!!!

Part of the controversy with the Charlie and Joey story line was because it was a "family show". A PG rating doesn't make it not a family show 11 hours ago, Matt said: Most people do have an opinion on politics, but I hold the same belief - don't have an opinion, if you don't know all the facts. I find it incredibly annoying. Opinions and facts don't necessarily go hand in hard But back on topic - most of my recent favourite bits are the more mundane bits - like Roo and Matt's banter about pasta... Less favourites - yet another stabbing...
Inactive.User Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 Sorry if not on topic but I completely agree with earlier comments about Brax donating that money to help Pippa. I think that honestly, the show is still a little down hill.
